I live in Alabama. When you see white trash enough and hear their views first person you tend to see that they aren't progressing.

I see a lot of people supporting McCain because he's white and Palin because she's a redneck, with no other reason.

If that's the case, then why are Obama's poll numbers up today?
Gallup Poll
These results, from Sept. 24-26, are almost entirely based on interviewing conducted before Friday night's first presidential debate. This suggests Obama was moving into a slightly better positioning as the two met in Mississippi to debate foreign policy matters and the economic crisis. The five percentage point lead for Obama in today's update is one of his best in recent weeks, just short of the six-point advantage he had in Sept. 17-19 polling.

I give both sides failing marks, for completely dancing around whether they support the $700 billion-out package.
Why is a straight, simple, YES OR NO so hard to get?? How many tries did it take for Jim Lehrer to get Obama's "We're waiting to see" and McCain's shrugging "Uh, yeah" non-answers?
If they don't have the guts to take a real stand, they don't have the material to be President.
Both camps had better make better showings in the coming debates, because that Ron Paul write-in is looking better every day.
McCain won the debate. He used good old reliable political tactics and I think American's are susseptible to that crap still. Obama was too "English" too polite and proper, too statesmanly. He had a couple of great opportunities to twist things on McCain and didn't....

I think McCain edged out a narrow victory in this debate.
Not a "knocked it out of the park" victory, but he edged out Obama....IMO.
People can claim bias but the MSNBC poll has Obama as the winner of this debate 49-36. 143,000 voted.

EDUCATION!
There couldn't be a more important issue. (that is saying alot too)
We have to boot the government out of it. The end of public schools. An end to indoctrination by the government. Vouchers. Let parents like me choose where I send my kids.
